| Message | Mr Horncastle, Not too many weeks ago you set up The Baltusian Left Bloc and signed up the Social Libs. Now you are looking to form a cabinet with the Right-Alliance parties. Just out of interest, and before our party commits, can you explain your reason for this sudden shift? Yours faithfully, Xirtes Fisk, Patriotic Party of Baltusia |
| Date | 13:48:39, July 28, 2016 CET | From | Baltusian International Democratic Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of November 4065 |
| Message | Indeed, could you please tell us why the sudden shift? Sincerely President Burgmuller |

| Message | Of course, The Left Bloc was designed as a reactionary protest movement against the threat of a solely right-wing government. Now that the aforementioned threat is a lot weaker, we believe that the existence of the Left Bloc is no longer necessary. We'd like to form a cabinet that represents not only the right wingers but also the sensible left wingers. Sen. Will Horncastle, Democratic Party |

| Message | Mr Horncastle, Can you re-propose this cabinet, so that a Patriotic Party candidate gets the role of defence among its four roles, please... this was a pre-requisite of our alliance and one I'm sure the President will vouch for. Thank you, Xirtes Fisk |
| Date | 15:18:16, July 28, 2016 CET | From | United Democratic Party - Syndicalists | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of November 4065 |
| Message | this is terrible democratic party why do you betray the left |
| Date | 16:26:07, July 28, 2016 CET | From | Patriotic Party of Baltusia | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of November 4065 |
| Message | Mr Horncastle, Also, as a matter of good faith can you leave the Baltusian Left Bloc. As you say yourself it is no longer needed and would not be right for you to be part of it and also a cabinet member in a centre right coalition. Thank you, Xirtes Fisk |

| Message | SLB, I'm representing the interests of the left by attaching myself to the right, acting as a check and balance. Do not worry. I'll write you. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Senator Fisk, I'm going to deactivate the Left Bloc for now so that if the Bloc is needed again, it can be woken. I'm sure you understand that this is a necessary precaution to ensure that the Right Alliance doesn't become the sole leadership of this nation. We are ensuring the balance of power remains fair. Sen. William Horncastle, Democratic Party |

| Message | We look forward to you deactivating it. Xirtes Fisk |
| Date | 21:48:36, July 28, 2016 CET | From | Patriotic Party of Baltusia | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of November 4065 |
| Message | Mr Horncastle, We see you have deactivated the Left Bloc. Thank you. Please let us know which policies you want to get passed into law. The best regards, Xirtes Fisk. |
